## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability globalapi-x402-us-gdp-data-d4671728
```

Example prompt: What's the current US GDP — give me the latest value, the recent quarterly trend, and a brief summary of whether the economy is growing or contracting?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, machine-ready US GDP figures with historical quarterly series and human-readable commentary, without managing API keys or subscriptions. Prefer this over generic economic data APIs when pay-per-call USDC micropayment via x402 is acceptable and you need FRED-sourced authoritative data with built-in narrative analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient USDC: returns HTTP 402 requiring x402 micropayment
- Invalid or unrecognized properties parameter: may return empty or error response
- Upstream FRED data unavailable: may return stale or missing data
- Network timeout: endpoint unreachable
